River Levels Data

[johnm]

 

Did my usual morning check of river levels this morning and was re-directed to the new .GOV Live Flood Warnings Service

 

https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/

 

from which you head to the  river and sea levels area

 

https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/river-and-sea-levels

 

 

 

Apparently a 'Beta' service at the moment but already an improvement (IMHO) with a 5 day record of levels and an easy map-based search of additional local data spots at the foot of the page under the ‘Broaden your search’ tab. I just wish they would improve the update rate which still seems to be stuck at once a day at 0430!

 

 

 

My usual target is the Repps gauge on the Thurne (https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/station/6217) which combined with the webcam at The Bridge lets me know if the bungalow is likely to be seen trying to knock the bridge down.

 

 

 

I also suspect that they are transferring the various sections of the EA site and that the Flood Warnings page on the EA site will probably also disappear in the near future and be included in the .GOV site.

 

Edit just to add that if the Mods feel this is better elsewhere, then please move it.
